  *************************. ****************************************************. April 5, 2024 charge $154.43 My dishwasher was making strange grinding noises + not draining properly Against my better judgment, I chose **** from an online search because it was able to respond immediately to my need. A technician (not a plumber I later learned, not a specialist) came to my home and, without looking under the sink but only at the videos I had made of the sound, immediately diagnosed the problem as a motor that needed to be replaced. THAT WAS FALSE AND FRAUDULENT.He claimed my dishwasher was old (5 years) and that it would take a while to get the part.April 16, 2024 charge $360.19 + $33 for a subscription Technician installed a part, convincing me to sign up for a monthly subscription that would discount the purchase and allow me to get discounts for future repairs on other appliances. He returned several times when I said the problem was not solved, that the grinding noises continued and the dishwasher was not unusable because it not only did not drain but kept pulling in water from the main sink. His recommendation was for me to get a new garbage disposal (!) AT NO TIME WAS I TOLD THAT **** NEVER REFUNDS MONEY FOR PURCHASES OR THAT I WOULD BE PENALIZED FOR ENDING THIS SUBSCRIPTION.May 5, 2024 $34.99 for subscription Jun 5, 2024 $34.99 for subscription Jul 5, 2024 $34.99 for subscription Jul 11, 2024 $100.96 penalty for canceling subscription, including reimposition of "discounted" amount for unnecessary new dishwasher motor.I later paid a plumber $300 to fix the hose that was the actual problem with the grinding and the drainage.I request payment of $753.55 for a fraudulently sold dishwasher motor + unnecessary subscription + $300 for the plumber I had to pay to fix the actual problem.

  Hi *****,
  
  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with our service. It's regrettable that we did not meet your expectations, and we want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously.
  
  According to our technician's assessment, the motor pump previously had noises, but after replacing it, the new one operated normally. Regarding your drain, everything was functioning correctly, but the issue lies with the garbage disposal unit. The technician explained that when the dishwasher drains, water flows into the disposal. If the disposal is not functioning properly, water can return to the dishwasher, triggering sensor issues and error codes. The noises you previously heard were indeed from the motor, which has since been replaced.
  
  To address the situation, we have decided to issue a refund for the installed part totaling $330.00, as well as the chargeback amount of $100.96.
  
  Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to assist you further.
  
  
  
  Best regards,
  **** Team

  I scheduled an appointment to have my washer repaired after an error code came up. Technician came, put the washer in drain/spin mode ran for 10 minutes told me the machine was in great condition. That the drum and shocks were in great condition. I did a load of laundry and found upon opening the door that there was a bunch of broken plastic. I was able to get them to send a technician out for another inspection. However, they canceled the appointment and gave me the option of choosing something over a week out. The technician damaged my machine and they should be responsible for all reapirs

  The guy came in May to fix my washing machine. The complaint was wouldnt fill. The second guy came in June and charged me 662 for the same complaint. As I understand the warranty, the second complaint should have been covered under the warranty. I can get no satisfaction from the company, they just ignored me or transferred me to a different department, tech support, that never answers the phone

  Hi *******, 
  
  We were notified bout your BBB complaint on the appointment for your washer. We have traced your account using your phone number, **************, and saw that the first appointment for your washer was on April 22, 2024, where the unit was serviced with a control board replacement amounting to $546.01 with tax included. The next appointment was on June 19, 2024, where the unit was diagnosed with a water valve malfunction. Understanding that the unit was serviced by one of the company's technician in less than 90 days ago, the re-inspection of the unit was done at no cost. However, as it was confirmed that the issue with the unit is not correlated to the initial repair and is of a completely different nature, the repair needed by the unit is declared to be an additional repair. For this reason additional charges applies, to which you made a partial advance payment of $43.79. However, understanding that the initial technician who serviced your unit ca no longer go back and provide you with the appropriate resolution to fix your unit, the team will be sending out a different technician to have your unit be re-inspected at no cost and re-verify if the repairs needed can be covered by the service guarantee policy. Know that the $43.79 will be credited if additional repairs are needed. We will be reaching out to you through your ****-registered email address for this process to be done.

  I truly must tell you that I feel that I have been robbed of my hard worked money and I will be very honest with you and your company. I will make my feelings well known as I contact the better business bureau and the reviews on your website. I had purchased a brand new front loader washer at ******* Directly and did not request the installation package as my Husband thought he could install them himself. Upon using the machine for the first time we go some terrible vibrations and thought there was something wrong with the machine. So we googled a company to come evaluate it. Come to find out that we had never removed four large screws attached to the back of the machine for transportation. Your technician came removed the four screws and we were charge $266 dollars we found it to be an exaggerated rate but ended up accepting and requested him to help us rearrange the washer and dryer in the space. He agreed to help us out for a charge of 50 dollars cash sent to his personal Zelle. By this point we had spent over 300. Dollars very disappointed ?? but we told him more than once that we did not want the membership as this was just a one time service. Last evening I noticed that my CC was charged another *****. When I called your company today they told me that in order to cancel the membership fee we would get charged another 73. Dollars we feel robbed. The charges immediately when through our CC.

  This company boasted an $89 fee. Sent an unskilled unknowledgeable technician out who then claimed we owed $244 after having done nothing to our washing machine nor fixed the problem. When we followed up with a complained they sent the same technician who pretended to know what he was doing but made up ridiculous claims that were obvious and in contrast to the manual. I requested a refund but was only offered a partial refund after complaining to PayPal. This company seems to be scamming customers. When the tech came the second time he also detached a hose and didnt replace it with its hose clamp causing a flood to occur. Furthermore I found an unauthorized recurring charge on my PayPal account from them! The costumer service is barely comprehensible with their basic English. Very frustrating and a waste of four months and lots of hours and money.

  Hello Geneva, 
  
  
  Thank you for sharing your feedback with the BBB community. 
  
  We are truly sorry for the negative experience, the team would definitely love to rectify this matter and provide you with a resolution. However, our system shows that there's an ongoing dispute with your payment which does not allow us to proceed with any further steps at the moment and we may need to request you drop the said dispute for us to proceed. 
  
  Regarding the aforementioned charge, our records do not show any recurring/ongoing charge to your PayPal account. If you could send us a screenshot of it for us to check on review, that'd be great.

  This company refuses to use the formal PayPal complaint platform to communicate. I have not escalated it for a PayPal review it simply allows our conversation to be documented. They continue to only communicate via personal email stating they will offer me partial refund only after I close the PayPal complaint platform. I do not accept partial reimbursement when they have not provided a service but rather causes more problems to our washer. We request the full refund of $294.50

  Hi Geneva,
  
  After careful review of your case, we are pleased to inform you that a refund of $155.90 plus $50.00 tip has been approved, following the deduction of a service fee amounting to $89.00, as discussed previously.
  
  Regarding the service call fee, the technician provided detailed diagnosis information for your unit. This fee was communicated by the technician before the diagnosis was conducted.
  
  Please be aware that our system requires the dispute to be dropped before we can proceed with the refund.

  Hello, I contacted **** for as my refrigerator was making a churning noise and I wanted to see what the issue was. The refrigerator was working fine, both the freezer and the refrigerator were cooling but I wanted to make sure the compressor wasn't going out. I contacted **** and they sent over a technician, ********. ******** advised that the issue was due to freon leaking through the evaporator. He advised it would cost around $600 dollars to repair. I advised I did not want to spend this and since it was operating fine to just keep until it no longer works. After ******** left the refrigerator was in worse shape than before he came. The refrigerator and freezer were both no longer cooling at all, the freezer was not making ice, and there was no water coming out. I requested that someone come out to return my appliance to how it was working before he arrived and the only response that I received was that they can send someone to repair the appliance, but I needed to approve the $600. I also provided a one-star rating and was advised someone would contact me but no one did. In the end the appliance was in worse shape than when the technician arrived, and I ended up having to throw out $100 worth of food due to this as well.

  Hello *******, 
  
  We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the negative experience. 
  
  
  We understand that the only issue on the appliance that you reported when you booked with us is the noise issue - "churning noises". We then sent our technician to fully diagnose the problem and he reported that the noise is actually the freon running through the lines of the evaporator, which is bad and needs to be replaced as it causes the entire unit to not cool properly as it is supposed to. 
  
  
  We previously sent you a breakdown of the estimate/quote for the repair awaiting for your confirmation for us to give the technician a go signal to order the needed parts for the repair. 
  
  With that being said, regrettably, we are unable to honor a refund as the $89 service call fee was the fee used to connect you with the technician who traveled to your location and fully diagnosed the appliance.

  A techician name VU came out on 6-16-24 to fix my dryer. He assured me that the issue was with the lock switch and that they store was close for him to get the piece to fix my dryer and he left without connecting my dryer door back together because he said it would be better to leave the door off until i get it fix because it would be easier to put back on. So i was able to get the lock switch repair which wasnt the issue with my dryer because im still having the same problem. I call the office to speak with someone about the issue and asked them if they can send someone else out to fix my dryer and the lady told me that its nothing they can do. I feel so disguisted that i paid them $95.00 to give me false information and then for them not to try to fix the mistake that they made. They is a rip off and i wouldnt recommand nobody do business with them.

  Hi ******,
  
  Apologies, as initially explained and reiterated, due to the repair attempt on you end after the inspection, we are unable to send the technician back at no cost as apart from the appointment requests are service calls, based on the coverage of our ****************** DIY repairs are not covered. Please check and refer to our General Rules of our ***************** as the 6th section states that: 
  * Appliances that are serviced by the customer or another technician or service company after service has been performed by **** will void **** guarantee on the service provided. This includes:

  1. Any Do It Yourself (DIY) repair or repair attempts made by the customer after the initial service performed by **** will void the **** Service Guarantee

  2. Any repair attempts or work performed by another service company after **** service has been completed will void the Service Guarantee on the service provided by ****
  

  We understand your frustration as we also want every customer's issue to be resolved; however, please do note that freezer or refrigerator units have complex systems and mechanisms. Repairs made by individuals who are not legitimate and skilled technicians can pose further risks to one's appliance. In this regard, there *** be a possibility that the technician recommended the wrong part but there is also a possibility that he made the right recommendation; however, the attempted repair *** have caused further problems to the unit. 
  
  Nonetheless, the team has reconsidered a $20 discount if you want to book another inspection request.
  
  
  Kindly let us know how you would like to proceed.
  
  
  Thank you!

  After rescheduling my appointment three times, it is clear that they have no intention of coming to fix the problem, and are happy to keep any customer of their in limbo. Then charge the same fees regardless of poor customer service. Nobody online recommends this company, with 75 out of 75 reviews in my area giving one star reviews. Clearly a scam operation looking to extort money from their clients. Shameful and completely useless.

  Hello ***, thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
  
  Please accept our sincerest apology for the inconvenience this has caused you, it is unacceptable to be rescheduled multiple times without communication and we regret this shortcoming on our end. 
  
  Although this is not the experience we wish you to have and as the team did their best to assign a technician for your appointment, unfortunately, the number of technicians we have in your area is limited causing the failure to accommodate your service request. Regarding the aforementioned fees, our record shows that no charges have been collected and paid for by you. The company only charges fees for services that were provided and rendered by our technicians and the company.  
  
  We appreciate you considering ****, and we still hope to be able to service you in the future as we expand our services.

  I contacted the company for a diagnostic on a dryer issue. Multiple locations on their website show that the service fee for them to diagnose the issue is $89- it also states multiple times that you can decline a repair and only pay the $89. On the 1st scheduled day, the window was 1p-3p, I kept trying to reach out to the tech and the company and finally got a response at 2:55p stating he still had another appt before mine. We rescheduled that appt. The 1st rescheduled appt, the tech cancelled on me and scheduled for the next day. Once the tech came out 4 days later, he sat outside my house for approx. 20 minutes before approaching the door. Once the tech came inside and attempted to take apart my dryer, he stripped one of the screws and blamed it on someone else having worked on it- this is a 1.5yr old dryer that I've never had work on, I heard and observed him having issues with the s**** Once the dryer was opened, the tech found the issue- a small metal piece in the drum. He then advised me the cost to repair is $230- to which I declined the repair and told him that I would take care of it myself due to not having that money and only expecting to pay $89. The tech told me "oh well" then removed the piece. I repeated to him that I cannot pay the $230 and declined the repair. He reassembled the dryer, and did not replace the s**** that he stripped. He tried promoting his own separate business to pay him on the side inside of the **** company. I declined that. He then charged me $220.82. Since I felt uncomfortable at this point and needed him out of my house, I paid the fee and told him to leave. I've been in constant communication with the company to inform them of the issue and they refuse to listen to fix the problem. No where on their website does it say that you are required to pay the repair fee once you decline. That was the tech's choice to repair after I declined multiple times.
